Subject: [PATCH v2 02/14] dt-bindings: display: Add Solomon SSD16xx e-paper controller binding
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 23:53:17 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260927182329.4193961-3-devarsht@ti.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260927182329.4193961-1-devarsht@ti.com>

Add device tree binding for the Solomon Systech SSD16xx family of e-Paper
display controllers (SSD1683 [1], SSD1673 [3], SSD1680 [4], SSD1681 [5]).

The binding covers the 4-wire SPI interface with required GPIO pins for
reset (active-low), busy status (active-high), and data/command selection.
The spi-max-frequency is capped at 20 MHz per the SSD1683 datasheet [1]
which is also the maximum supported frequency amongst the family.

An optional rotation property allows static display orientation to be
configured from device tree.

The data/command selection GPIO pin is also kept as optional since various
SSD16XX controllers such as SSD1683 [1] support 3-wire mode too with
data/command selection bit transmitted as first bit before sending the data
sequence.

The first supported compatible is for Gooddisplay GDEY042T81 which is 4.2",
400x300 resolution black/white e-paper display using SSD1683 controller.

+
+description:
+  The SSD16xx family includes e-paper display controllers (SSD1673,
+  SSD1680, SSD1681, SSD1683, SSD1677) with integrated gate driver,
+  source driver and timing controller. Different panels use these
+  controllers in monochrome or 3-color (black/white/red) configurations.
+  The controller uses a 4-wire SPI interface and requires GPIO pins for
+  reset, busy status, and data/command control. A 3-wire mode is also
+  available where the D/C bit is transmitted along the SPI data line
+  before each byte.
